Emiliano Sala: Missing Premier League footballer's plane found - sky news
Breaking news on Sky
http://news.sky.com/story/emiliano-s...found-11627529
That’s as good news we’re going to get. Heart dropped again with the same sky news notification.
Let’s hope bodies can be recovered too, finally answers for their families and the opportunities to say goodbye properly.
Apologies, no other thread when I started posting this. Merge/delete please.
Both search vessels have moved around a lot since this morning, but the search area has been small & consistent. The Morven is current in port in Guernsey the Geo Ocean III has been at anchor since 4pm.

I hope both men are found on board for the families to put them to rest.
Tragic
The news we were all fearing but were resigned to hearing about. Echo the thoughts above around closure. RIP Bluebird.
Apparently the plane is empty therefore they both managed to leave the plane ........ my God I hope they didn't suffer.
R.I.P Sala & David
Where’s that been quoted mate? I Haven’t seen that in the media as yet.Quote:

So the wreckage has been searched?Quote:

Not sure though.
Listening to David Mearns’ statement it sounds like the bodies have been found.Quote:

I think you're correct, it doesn't actually specify that the wreckage has been searched, just located?Quote:

They will be sending a camera down if they haven't already.
They would have sent one down to be able to id the wreck.Quote:

That's been mine and all of my friend's interpretation of what we have read.Quote:

BBC reporting this morning that no bodies have been found - I'm going to stick to that line until it's confirmed that they have been found.
I now see that the mail sentence that I quoted above was indeed 'clumsy writing'
It would be better if they said that the plane went missing with both occupants missing and presumed dead - wreckage of the plane has been found.Quote:

There is no indication yet that the wreckage contained bodies or is empty.
I agree, a very simple statement would have saved so much speculation, especially as the families have been informed.Quote:
